EIFS – Exterior Insulation and Finishing System
General class of non-load bearing building cladding systems that provides exterior walls with an insulated, water-resistant, finished surface
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), Extruded Polystyrene (XPS), Rockwool, or Natural Cork Boards can be fixed for insulation
Durability, Design Flexibility, and better aesthetics
Moisture & Fire Control
Reduce air infiltration by as much as 55% compared to standard methods

ASTM E84
Approved as per ASTM E84 fire test standards: Class A
EIFS VS. Double Walls & AAC Blocks
| No | Double/AAC Wall | DMC EIFS |
| 1 | Has to be covered with rendering and different layers up to the final finish | Integrated system including final finish in various colors and textures |
| 2 | Only partial insulation with thermal bridging and other leaks | Much better insulation without thermal bridging and with less weight |
| 3 | A relatively high-cost system | Lower cost & higher efficiency |
| 4 | Longer execution time and greater effort | Faster implementation and much higher productivity |
| 5 | Approximate U value of 0.920 | Approximate U Value of 0.300 |
| 6 | Cracks are frequent | Cementitious water based materials makes the system hydrophobic and guarantees no peeling off over building’s life span |
| 7 | No sound cancellation | Partial sound cancellation |
| 8 | Usually no guarantees | Provided 10 years guarantee |
